Gradually Ruth overcame her shyness; it was impossible not to feel grateful to this beautiful, gracious woman who tried so hard to make her feel at her ease. The time slipped by pleasantly enough. Then Fenella rose to her feet. "You must carry Miss Lalonde and her chair down to the very edge of the lawn, where she can see the river," she told Arnold.
With shining top hat, fur-lined coat, gauntlets and cane, M. Lalonde, the Montreal detective, came forward with his professional conceit no whit impaired by juxtaposition with these glacial and solitary surroundings. He handed his card to the priest and bowed to them both. "Mon Dieu!" muttered Father Rielle, "it is true then! You saw it all! You saw it all I can see!"
The sergeant gave a few orders respecting the movement of a pile of articles covered over by a tablecloth, which had been dragged out of Isaac's room. Before he had finished, Arnold ventured upon the question which had been all the time trembling upon his lips. "This man Isaac Lalonde was he arrested?" The sergeant made no immediate reply. "Tell me, at least, was any one hurt?" Arnold begged.
Only promise me; promise not to give up to remorse and contrition too deeply." Ringfield stood pale and quiet and gave the promise, but Father Rielle and Lalonde ran along the road leading back from the fall until they reached a point where the river was sufficiently frozen to admit of walking across.
"I am afraid " "You are to be afraid of nothing," she interrupted, mockingly. "Is that not just what I have been preaching to you? You have too many fears for your height, my friend." "We will put it another way, then. I was thinking of Miss Lalonde. She is not strong, and I think it is time we were leaving. If you could send us so far as the railway station "
"I can tell you where to find Isaac Lalonde, if you wish." Arnold's little exclamation was one almost of dismay. "You know?" he cried. "Naturally," Sabatini admitted. "You have a tender conscience, my young friend, and a very limited knowledge of the great necessities of the world. You think that a man like Isaac Lalonde has no real place in a wholesome state of society.
The loss of the French and Spaniards, by their own accounts, was considerable; the former having three hundred and six killed, among whom were Captains Moncousu, of the Dessaix, seventy-four, and Lalonde, of the Indomptable, eighty-four, and near five hundred wounded; five gun-boats were sunk, and others damaged; and the forts, in which eleven men were killed, received considerable injury.
Isaac Lalonde is rather a notable figure among European criminals. He belongs to a company of anarchists, well-meaning but bloodthirsty, who hold by one another to the death. If Starling, to save himself, were to disclose the name of the real murderer, he would simply make his exit from this life with a knife through his heart instead of the hangman's rope about his neck.
"I have a great regard for Count Sabatini," he declared, "a great regard, but there are some of his friends very many of them, in fact whose presence here I could dispense with. That man is one of them. Do you know where he was a few nights ago, Miss Lalonde?" She shook her head. "In prison," Mr. Weatherley said, impressively; "arrested on a serious charge." Her eyes asked him a question.
"Assuredly," Sabatini assented. "First then, who killed Rosario?" "There is a certain directness about your methods," Sabatini said suavely, "which commends itself to me. No one could mistake you for anything but an Englishman." "Tell me who killed Rosario!" Arnold repeated. "As you will," Sabatini replied. "Rosario was murdered by a Portuguese Jew a man of the name of Isaac Lalonde."
